Browser Quesiton

[Jeff]

When I put a site into the address bar it automatically
puts http://ehttp.cc/?www.the site i am going to. this
makes it so i can't go to the page i specified. I was
wondering what the hell this is and how i can get rid of
it.

Note: this type hijack indicates an unpatched machine, that is lacking in
"Defense".
Please visit Windows Update to avoid these exploits.

Jeff,
It sounds like you have a hijack problem.. Go to CW Shredder
below and download and use it... Upgrade it immediately after the
install before you use it.. If after running it, you still have
problems, download and install the HIJACK THIS Zip file.
Do NOT remove anything with the HIJACK THIS program..
Copy the logfile from it and send it to their forum group for
analysis... They will respond and tell you what to delete and
what NOT to delete.. It is a very powerful program and you
MUST follow the instructions carefully.
HTH,
